Apparently not

briefly

Trains would probably directly harm my job, but yeah, we should have more trains.

There would still be plenty of jobs for us. Why I can't ride a train from Cleveand to Pittsburgh or Cleveland to Cinci is just mindblowing.

The thread title is still "LGA accident". What does the flight training at VNY have to do with a 121 carrier hitting a fire truck on a runway 2,137nm away?



Yet, YOU followed that train derailment and decided to continue to post about 91/135 in a thread about a 121 carrier hitting a fire truck.

Are you a 121 pilot?

I mean, the entire FAA was formed largely because of the TWA-United collision over the Grand Canyon but go off hermano.

Yes, in the 50s. And not just the first TWA and UAL collision (NYC). Still, there have been far more collisions of 121 with COR/GA/MIL/pies.

Such that the only contribution I have to this thread isn’t going to be “you’re FRAKKING kidding me” and/or “shut your FRAKKING mouth…”

The rest of us feel deeply for the on-duty death of our fellow union members from north of the border, and we express our profoundest regret and sadness for what happened at LaGuardia. We stand in solidarity with our Jazz Aviation colleagues and welcome the NTSB’s vigorous investigation to this tragic loss of life.

This is just lip service. Like thoughts and prayers after a mass shooting.


Most of of us know, and I’ve told my family that (before 2025) we are on the brink when it came to safety, and that the next major disaster in this country was with going to be a 121 involved in a midair collision or a runway collision. And both happened 14 months apart.

This is a tragedy but the lesson is that we need to add an additional layer to the block of sliced Swiss cheese, two layers is not enough.

I think that a bunch a folks thought that looking both ways before entering an intersection was DNA-level vehicular operation. A bunch of folks were wrong.

This can be fixed without politics or inter-industry fighting .
